Classes are focused on strength building and promoting fitness in a fun and relaxed environment. All you need is comfortable clothes that you can move and dance in and a drink to keep hydrated.

Ballet shoes are important for classes and these can be purchased at the school if you need them.

Our adult ballet classes use a lot of barre work to help with balance while we are building muscle and flexibility. Its important to maintain healthy joints and muscles all through life. Many people with aches and pains have found the strength gained in ballet classes can help ease any discomfort. For a lot of people sat at desks all day it can be a satisfying and motivating class.

The second half of the class is more choreography based where we learn and practice dances. Adults then have the option to perform as part of our summer show at the end of May every year.

Pointe Work can be damaging if not done safely. So it’s important to build up strength in the feet and ankles before starting this. This class in mainly all barre work to provide you support while you are learning.

These shoes need to be fitted properly in a store and should not be bought online. Get in contact if you would like recommendations of local shops.

This class is open to anyone who is willing to learn and take in the information of the correct technique. This class also helps to improve strength in the calves and helps to define leg muscles.

Contemporary dance is quite a physical genre of dance. Involves a lot of rolling around on the floor and jumps. It’s not to for who aren’t willing to put themselves out there a little bit.
